Debugging the error gcc error x86 64-linux-gnu-gcc No such file or directory

Question

I m trying to build  https   github com kanzure nanoengineer  But it looks like it errors out on   gcc -DHAVE CONFIG H -I  -I      -I usr include python2 7   -std c99 x86 64-linux-gnu-gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -MT libstructcompare a-structcompare o -MD -MP -MF  deps libstructcompare a-structcompare Tpo -c -o libstructcompare a-structcompare o  test -f  structcompare c     echo      structcompare c gcc  error  x86 64-linux-gnu-gcc  No such file or directory   x86 64-linux-gnu-gcc definitely exists in  usr bin  It s a symlink  and the target definitely exists as well  It looks to me like the Makefile wasn t generated correctly  perhaps there is a flag that should be passed before specifying x86 64-linux-gnu-gcc  I am unsure as well what specifying x86 64-linux-gnu-gcc is supposed to accomplish   Finally  this makefile was generated by configure  so once we narrow down the cause of the error  I ll have to figure out what files to modify in order to fix this   I m a CMake kind of guy myself  but of course I didn t choose the build system for this project   My OS is Debian   I ve tried building this branch as well  https   github com kanzure nanoengineer branches kirka-updates  If you can try getting this to build on your system  I would greatly appreciate it  Thanks

After a fair amount of work  I was able to get it to build on Ubuntu 12 04 x86 and Debian 7 4 x86 64  I wrote up a guide below   Can you please try following it to see if it resolves the issue     If not please let me know where you get stuck   Install Common Dependencies  sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf libtool pkg-config python-opengl python-imaging python-pyrex python-pyside qtopengl idle-python2 7 qt4-dev-tools qt4-designer libqtgui4 libqtcore4 libqt4-xml libqt4-test libqt4-script libqt4-network libqt4-dbus python-qt4 python-qt4-gl libgle3 python-dev   Install NumArray 1 5 2  wget http   goo gl 6gL0q3 -O numarray-1 5 2 tgz tar xfvz numarray-1 5 2 tgz cd numarray-1 5 2 sudo python setup py install   Install Numeric 23 8  wget http   goo gl PxaHFW -O numeric-23 8 tgz tar xfvz numeric-23 8 tgz cd Numeric-23 8 sudo python setup py install   Install HDF5 1 6 5  wget ftp   ftp hdfgroup org HDF5 releases hdf5-1 6 hdf5-1 6 5 tar gz tar xfvz hdf5-1 6 5 tar gz cd hdf5-1 6 5   configure --prefix  usr local sudo make  sudo make install   Install Nanoengineer  git clone https   github com kanzure nanoengineer git cd nanoengineer   bootstrap   configure make sudo make install   Troubleshooting  On Debian Jessie  you will receive the error message that cant pants mentioned   There seems to be an issue in the automake scripts  x86 64-linux-gnu-gcc is inserted in CFLAGS and gcc will interpret that as a name of one of the source files  As a workaround  let s create an empty file with that name  Empty so that it won t change the program and that very name so that compiler picks it up  From the cloned nanoengineer directory  run this command to make gcc happy  it is a hack yes  but it does work        touch sim src x86 64-linux-gnu-gcc   If you receive an error message when attemping to compile HDF5 along the lines of   error  call to      open missing mode    declared with attribute error  open with O CREAT in second argument needs 3 arguments   then modify the file perform zip perf c  line 548 to look like the following and then rerun make     output   open filename  O RDWR   O CREAT  S IRUSR S IWUSR     If you receive an error message about Numeric arrayobject h not being found when building Nanoengineer  try running  export CPPFLAGS -I usr local include python2 7   configure make sudo make install   If you receive an error message similar to  TRACE PREFIX undeclared   modify the file sim src simhelp c lines 38 to 41 to look like this and re-run make    ifdef DISTUTILS static char tracePrefix          else static char tracePrefix           If you receive an error message when trying to launch NanoEngineer-1 that mentions something similar to  cannot import name GL ARRAY BUFFER ARB   modify the lines in the following files   usr local bin NanoEngineer1 0 9 2 app program graphics drawing setup draw py  usr local bin NanoEngineer1 0 9 2 app program graphics drawing GLPrimitiveBuffer py  usr local bin NanoEngineer1 0 9 2 app program prototype test drawing py   that look like this   from OpenGL GL import GL ARRAY BUFFER ARB from OpenGL GL import GL ELEMENT ARRAY BUFFER ARB   to look like this   from OpenGL GL ARB vertex buffer object import GL ARRAY BUFFER AR from OpenGL GL ARB vertex buffer object import GL ELEMENT ARRAY BUFFER ARB   I also found an additional troubleshooting text file that has been removed  but you can find it here

apt-get install python-dev      solved the problem for me

the error can be due to one of several missing package  Below command will install several packages like g    gcc  etc   sudo apt-get install build-essential

sudo apt-get -y install python-software-properties  amp  amp    sudo apt-get -y install software-properties-common  amp  amp    sudo apt-get -y install gcc make build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev  You need the libssl-dev and libffi-dev if especially you are trying to install python s cryptography libraries or python libs that depend on it eg ansible

I was getting the error    gcc  error  x86 64-linux-gnu-gcc  No such file or directory    as I was trying to build a simple c-extension module to run in Python   I tried all the things above to no avail  and finally realized that I had an error in my module c code  So I thought it would be helpful to add that  if you are getting this error message but you have python-dev and everything correctly installed  you should look for issues in your code
